Your tank will actually only contain a bit less than 2 gallons when in use because it will not be filled to the brim and there will also be some water displaced by gravel etc. A Dwarf Gourami is around a 2 inch fish so it will be barely sufficient. (I would not do it) The basic rules of sucessfull fishkeeping are. (:- 1 inch of fish must have at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. :- Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week.) Gouramies are tropical and should be kept at around 78F. to make sure that your tank is cycled properly i would Google cycling a fish tank. it will take 1-3 weeks. you could put a betta, which would much rather have a temp around 78F. unlike what many say. you could look into a sparkling gourami. they are slightly smaller
What else can I help you with?

Not really. There will be some bullying in the tank if the gourami is bigger than the dwarf gourami. Usually the dwarf will be left lone but there is usually fin nipping.
Do i need a bigger tank if i have a clown loach a dwarf gourami and a pleco in a 50 gallon tank?
Clown Loach grow to over 12". Dwarf Gourami around 2" and some Plecostomus also reach around 12"+ so using the old basic rule of 1" of fish needs 1 Gallon of water you can see that you are well within the safety margins.

There are no problems about it. remember that you have to have at least 20 gallon tank, because your gourami and shrimp will need to have space. You may also visit recent website that I built for freshwater fish at : http://aquatropicalfish.com http://aquatropicalfish.com/forum/index.php

It is a risk. Every fish you put in a tank has a risk of fighting
Can 1 dwarf gourami and 7 cardinal tetras go together in a 16 gallon tank?
Yes, I'm pretty sure that that would be okay. But don't even think about putting the tetras or gouramis in before the tank has cycled.I would put tons of live plant in the tank, too.
Do dwarf gouromis go good in a 10 gallon tank with neon tetras?
Neons and most other Tetras should be OK with most of the Gourami family in a well planted tank, under normal circumstances providing the tank is not overstocked. For stocking simply follow the basic rules. 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water.:- Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you have a "pair" of Dwarf Gouramis, eventually they will decide to build a bubble nest and breed. When this happens any Gourami species will be likely to kill any other smaller fish in the tank in order to protect their breeding place, ova and young, so be prepared to either remove the Gouramis to a breeding tank or put the Tetras into another tank.

What are the best tank mates for guppies?
In my family's tank, we have 2 Dwarf Gourami and 2 Fire Dwarf Gourami. They live fine and no fights have happened. Make sure not to have one more male then female or the males will fight. As long as there are even numbers of male and female, any fish would work really, besides really aggressive fish.
I have a 20 gallon freshwater tank and want to get 6 glowlight tetra a dwarf gourami and a corydora Would they live peacefully?
That's a very nice setup! :) corydoras and most tetras keep to themselves and i personally think a gourami would be a great centerpiece in a tank. But corys live in schools, so you should buy at least five. And since corys breed a lot, you should buy every few specimens from different stores.
Is it suitable for a dwarf hamster to live in a 10-gallon tank?
No, a 10-gallon tank is not suitable for a dwarf hamster as they require more space to move around and explore. A larger enclosure with proper ventilation and enrichment is recommended for their well-being.
